East Stroudsburg post office will reopen Thursday

The post office in East Stroudsburg has been deemed safe for postal operations and will reopen Thursday, USPS spokeswoman Karen Mazurkiewicz said.

A structural engineer was called to inspect the site after workers discovered water pooling on the floor inside the building Tuesday morning, drawing concern about the safety of the structure with snow on the roof. The office closed as a precaution until the engineer could make the determination Wednesday.

The building remains closed Wednesday for additional snow removal and cleanup, Mazurkiewicz said. Delivery operations were not disrupted and carriers are on the street.
